The option would have vested if Beltre reached 586 plate appearances in 2015 and the Rangers simply decided to remove the uncertainty. Rangers GM Jon Daniels has said in the past that he wants Beltre to retire as a member of the club, and the 35-year-old third baseman recently echoed that sentiment. Beltre has batted .315/.364/.530 in his four years with Texas, averaging 29 homers and 94 RBI per season. Feb 23 - 1:55 PM

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Sunday that the team will address Adrian Beltre's $16 million vesting option for 2016 in the "near future."

The option will vest if Beltre reaches 586 plate appearances in 2015. However, it sounds like Daniels would like to guarantee the option or possibly re-work Beltre's deal, as he said he wants the third baseman to finish his career as a Ranger. Beltre will turn 36 in April and saw his home run total drop to 19 last season, but he hit .324/.388/.492 overall and remains an elite defensive third baseman. Feb 22 - 11:34 AM

Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram writes that Rangers interim manager Tim Bogar is "considered the frontrunner" to land the full-time position.

Bogar went 14-8 at the helm of the Rangers after taking over for the departed Ron Washington. He will officially interview for the job on Friday. Alex Cora will also interview on Friday and they're expected to be the final two candidates. Others that have already interviewed include Torey Lovullo, Kevin Cash, Joe McEwing, Steve Buechele and Mike Maddux. Fri, Oct 10, 2014 10:16:00 AM

Shin-Soo choo (elbow, ankle) is progressing nicely in his rehab and admits to feeling "too good" as spring training nears.

The veteran outfielder is already doing full baseball activities and shouldn't have any limitations when spring training begins. He's looking to bounce back from a forgettable 2014 campaign where he slashed just .242/.340/.374 with 13 homers and 40 RBI in 123 games in his first season as a Ranger.

Harrison, who is recovering from spinal fusion surgery, has previously been limited to throwing from 90 feet. He's making progress, but the Rangers aren't expecting him to be ready to contribute until around late May.

The Rangers are expecting Martin Perez (elbow) to rejoin the rotation in July.

Perez has expanded his throwing program to 120 feet and plans to mix in some changeups with his fastball next week. The club says he's ahead of his rehab timetable from Tommy John surgery at the moment, though obviously he still has a long ways to go. "I feel like the ball is going fast," Perez said. "I’m doing good. I’m throwing every day again. I just want to do everything good, take my time and come back and help my team."
